Yes Make It Go Away!

Sure, it says that it will help, but how much do you really know? Sure it helps people make money, but what if that person just got lucky, while everyone else is working hard!! That would be totally unfair!Money could turn a person to the wrong side: you have 'real' friends, you can get bankrupt, and so many things can go wrong. Also, you might lose what's most important to you!

Why Give False Hope?

I do not believe that the lottery is a good way for us Americans to get a large quantity of money. It is based on luck and i believe its unfair to have someone who has never worked a day in his life win, when there are people who work every day of the week. They give false hope and it waste our money. Its one out of a million someone will win.

A Legal Form Of Vice Taxpayers spend money equipping law enforcement with tools and manpower to stop unregulated games of chance. Then, they turn around and enjoy a monopoly that they used our money to create.I do believe it creates an unsavory element in our society and our government does too, as it is one of the reasons the unregulatedversion is controlled. One can argue that with such a system that you need the government involved to insure its fairness -- then why not regulate private enterprises who want to run these games?It is the State that is unfair and hypocritical.Report Post

They ruin people's lives

More than 70% of lottery winners end up bankrupt and there are examples when the lottery caused people to divorce, become drug addicts, or even die. We don't want people to get the idea that success comes through risk taking rather than hard work. Winning makes people greedy and they get more addicted.

Lottery should be banned

People should work hard not just luck . It take poor people money who never win, it is not fair for certain people to get so much wealth in once . It is not healthy. Sometimes it ruins people life. The society should encourage more people work hard to get what they want, not through gambling.

The lotto effectively transfers money from the poor to those less so.

The facts suggest that the poor buy more lotto tickets than any other sector of our society. In fact, they spend a higher percentage of their income on lottery tickets than most large corporations do on taxes. So the lotto is in fact a tax that, because of human nature, targets the poor.

And when you compare how much each community spends on the lotto versus movie tickets or other forms of entertainment, spending goes down across the board as the median income of the community drops, except for lottery tickets, where it increases sharply in low-income communities.

This begs the question of whether the lotto itself breeds a scarcity mentality in those who play.

I think we should ban the lottery.

Some people are mad with doing the gamble. They spent all the money for the lottery. Then what is the difference with casino and the lottery. I am curious. If we ban the gambling than why not the lottery? Also some peopple win the lottery. But after that they ise the money for the bad thing. Lottery is the huge waste of the time and the money.

State lottery should stay

Lotteries benefit a lot in higher education, all the states should be like Tennessee and use the money for higher education,rather than to just give the money too the government and let them decide what to do with it. People shouldn't blame poverty on the lottery, it can have lots of benefits. State lottery should stay

Should state lotteries be banned?

This is the most ridiculous thing I have heard. The only reason people are going into poverty is because our government is making them depend on the government. Everyone should be able to spend their hard worked money on whatever they choose to. If they go broke because of that, then it is bad luck and or their fault. They know what responsibilities they have.

NO of course not

It is people's own faults what or where they spend their money. Some people like to gamble, and why take that away from them when other people are bad at managing both their money and their greed. They need to put their efforts into more prominent issues than this anyway. (they meaning schools and the government)

It is ok

People should be able to spend their money on what they chose. The government doesn't have the right to tell citizens how to spend money that they worked hard for. It helps schools, helps state revenue, and is fun. If poor people want to spend their money on the lottery they can becuase it is their choice

State Lotteries Can Be Helpful

Each state has a different way of using their lottery funds, but many of them have elected to use their lottery funds for education. Banning these lucrative, yet harmless games, would hurt more people in the long run than it would benefit. It makes no sense to ban small instances of gambling.

Let people gamble if they wish.

State lotteries should not be banned. The lotteries help fund the school systems. Besides that, some people truly enjoy playing the lottery each week. Although some people have issues with gambling, that will not stop if the lotteries are banned. People with addictions find another way to fulfill that drive. Instead of buying a lottery ticket they may go to a casino instead. Regardless, the schools might as well continue to benefit from the addictions.

It helps people who don't have much money.

These days, you know? The money for lottery is spent for people who don't have money. Lottery is a way to help hard people. It should not be banned.If lottery is banned, well... Away to help is banned. Think well and say yes or no. Well i think it shouldnt be banned.
